Beta Ray Bill

Okay, so I admit that at first it may seem as though I am retreading old territory. Having already done an entry on Thor, can I in good conscience do Beta Ray Bill as well? The answer is of course a resounding "fuck yes." Beta Ray Bill is the man!

So I went over all of Thor's amazing advantages over Superman many weeks ago. Beta Ray Bill's are mostly the same. Beta Ray Bill is a weather controlling, magical alien demigod. He destroys shit with Stormbreaker, his enchanted uru hammer which is the equal to Thor's own (which, if you'll remember, would have pulped Superman's skull at the end of Avengers/JLA #1 if anyone cared about accuracy in comics anymore) in every way.

Beta Ray Bill actually might be MORE of a challenge for Superman, as Bill has kicked Thor's ass more times than just about anyone else. In his very first story arc he beats Thor twice (although one of those times Thor does not have his hammer)! I chalk this up to Beta Ray Bill's superior strength, fighting skills, and conviction. Thor was more than a match for Supes, which I guess makes Beta Ray Bill more than more than a match.
